This $619,990 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes (CFDA 15.805) program seeks to develop a comprehensive hydrologic modeling framework to enhance flood resilience and water resource management in the Willamette River Basin. The key activities include collecting observational data, setting up and calibrating a physics-based hydrology model, integrating machine learning-based data assimilation, and generating streamflow forecasts. The expected deliverables include two peer-reviewed publications, public accessibility of all model elements and datasets, presentations to relevant agencies, and broader dissemination through webinars and outreach activities. The project benefits communities vulnerable to flooding, local agencies, researchers, and students in the region. Oregon State University is leading this 3-year initiative and will collaborate with the USGS, as well as recruit one PhD student and one additional graduate student to support the project.
